The Avalon Ball is a fantastic journey into the past when Big Bands played for huge audiences and were broadcast to the nation from the Art Deco/Mediterranean Revival Casino Ballroom. The Avalon Casino Ballroom, located on Catalina Island (just off the coast of Southern Los Angeles) in the city of Avalon, opened its doors on May 29, 1929. The Art Deco Society of Los Angeles’ Avalon Ball™ takes place annually in the Ballroom’s anniversary month and attracts 700 vintage dance and music enthusiasts from all over the world, who dress to the nines to immerse in glorious Art Deco opulence as they glide across the 10,000 square foot dance floor (one of the last to exist!) – surrounded by romantic ocean views.
